New Release | Nice by Doxter S

Crimson Studios is proud to announce the new release of Nice by Doxter S. This delicate ballad with solo female vocalist (Sara) and classical guitar accompaniment will decompress and fulfill your soul.

Doxter S spent some time in September 2018 in Nice (pronounced like Niece in English) on the French Riviera. This large metropolitan city is the summer playground for the French. It’s more upscale neighbors Monte Carlo to the east and Cannes to the west are for aristocrats and sheikhs. ​

Not that the Porte de Nice doesn’t have it’s share of luxury yachts and millionaires. Bill Gates and Tina Turner live nearby. What Nice does have is a rich history and a charming old town (Vieux Nice) and lots of British and American expats. ​

Wandering down the narrow, cobblestone walkways one passes by shops and restaurants with outdoor seating. The open market area constantly transforms; farmers market, craft vendors, exotic spices, and multicolored sea salts (the fish market was recently moved to the port area for health reasons). Everything gets hosed down before lunchtime. The restaurants lining both sides of the wide pedestrian area take over competing sections for outdoor dining. ​

Without noting the time, the many church steeple bells start counting out the noon hour. High on the castle hill (now a park) a cannon is fired at exactly 12:00 sharp. Everyone is getting seated for déjeuner, the most important meal of the day. The banks have closed. Time to dine on food and wine. ​

Nice was home to some very famous French painters, including Renoir and Matisse. There is a Chagall museum in the northern part of Nice. They all came to enjoy the sea air, the clear Mediterranean waters, and most of all the light and color of this place. The sky and the sea were so blue they gave it the name Côte d’Azur.​
